Just water? No! We need soap too!

If our heart was broken for every time we broke God's, do you think that this life would be pretty rough? I do. Sin it's what makes up the entire world and death through that, but we can rejoice in a Savior who cleanses us daily and makes us whiter than snow.  I think of it as soap and water. Water = our lives; 

soap = Jesus. We can try all we want to wash ourselves out, we can use cold water, hot water, even luke warm water! The explanations on those is for another time. . .Anyway, water, just water, cleans only the outside appearances. The crumbs if you will. Water doesn't get the caked on muck like the moldy spaghetti that has been sitting in your fridge for three weeks. Water can't clean that! But with a little bit of soap aka Jesus the muck of our life can be cleaned and make us look brand new! What great news this is! Now think. . .Do you only use water or do you believe that soap is the way to clean yourself or not? I like being clean. Thank you Jesus for being the soap in my water, thank You for making me sparkly and brand new.
